MIUI: Stuck on BOOT - Desire General

Yesterday, I decided to flash a MIUI (beta) rom, but I am stuck on the 'shiny android boot loading screen'. Before flashing the ROM I had Wiped all user DATA/CACHE/DALVIK-CACHE/EXT and all other as well as formatting my SD card to the following:
HTML:
Swap Size: 0MB
EXT 4: 1GB
No matter what I do, whether it's pulling out the battery and leaving it or wipe cache again it just gets stuck on the same old boot screen doing nothing.
Here are my phone specs:
HTML:
S-OFF PVT1 Revolutionary
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5.17.05.23
I know I dob't have USB Brick because it works fine and I can boot into Recovery and Bootloader/FastBoot. I don't understand why this has happened as I had flashed a MIUI ROM 2 months agao and everything went well, it could be that my H-BOOT is different or I have S-OFF.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Many Thanks.

Latest version happened to do the same for me.
I just flashed it a couple of times. It works now.
The strangest thing was, that it was no bootloop or any error - it just sat there for infinity.

Does the Rom require a different hboot? Or might it need an ext 3 partition?

Yes, that is what is happening here, but I flashed it several times and no go. The setup seems so quick to be installed...it only lasts 40 seconds and says it's complete.

I have no idea, surely not?

I have alpharev sense HBOOT, but MIUI should work with all others (except for oxygen/oxygenr2)
I'd recommend to download the .zip again and check md5 sum - then flash again.

Which version of MIUI is it that you flashed?
Mine has to have an EXT3 partition or it wont work ..

EDIT:
/facepalm
I can't believe I expected the ROM to be installed just by flashing the 'Pack' which I didn't reliase is just an language pack. I thought the term 'Pack' meant everything including the ROM, lol.
ISSUE Ressolved. Thanks anyways guys.

LeeDroid... problems

Hi, guys, please advise, what am I doing wrong?
Trying to put LeeDrOiD 2.4.1 A2SD.
Doing a full wipe.
Created a ex2, then converted to ex3.
Flashing ok but after reboot, shows the logo and all here, waiting for nearly an hour.
ps while writing the post, decided to try to put LeeDrOiD 2.4.1 without a2sd - got no problems. I'm at a loss
LeeDroid gave me infininite reboots while loading, specialy in the latest versions (3.0.x), which recovery do you have?

Make your main fat32 partition first then make your ext3(512mb or 1gb whatever you think you'll need). If your gonna make an ext why not just make it a 3 to start, 2.4.1 supports ext3 + ext4. Maybe this will help?
hi, if needed here is a link with ARv2.0.1 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img
flash it through fasboot, the easest way (should need S-off to do so)
hope this help

Just try within the recovery and after flasing the rom to mount the sd card manually before booting.
It worked for me...
i've been using Leedroid 3.03 for the last week or so... before i installed the ROM i did s-off, mostly because it updates your HBOOT without having to re-root. If you dont have HBOOT at 0.93x there will be problems flashing the ROM. IDK why, not that technically minded, but when I read the threads for 3.x that was the consensus. Is your HBOOt up to date?
@thelloydr
My HBOOT is 0.93.0001
I guess it is ok?

Phone hangs after new ROM install

Hello all!
Yesterday I decided I wanted to try the latest RCMix ROM (v2.2b). Usually I do the update from ROM Manager, but it informed me there was a new version to download so I downloaded it.
Anyway, I proceeded with it and installed the ROM and everything went fine, until it rebooted, which it then just hung on the s-off boot screen. I waited for an hour but to no avail so had to take out the battery.
So, I tried to do it again manually by doing a factory wipe/clear cache/clear dalvik cache and flashed again, but again, same thing happened even though it said it had installed ok. I tried doing this 5 times before I gave up (although leaving 20 minutes on the boot screen before giving up each time)
Next I decided that maybe it was the new version of the ROM, so I downloaded the v2.1 of it, but still got the same problem, so then I decided to try my original one (v2.0) because it worked fine previously, but this also didn't work!
Finally, I decided I best try a different ROM altogether, so I tried the LeeDroid ROM (which I've used in the past,albeit a previous version), but this also has the same problem.
So, I'm a bit stuck what to do, hence why I've had to post on here. I've read that the latest clockworkmod recovery has some issues, does this still apply? Could this be the cause of my problem? I've tried finding a previous version of clockworkmod to install via sd card to test it out, but had no luck finding one.
Does anyone else have any suggestions on what I can do? Please bare in mind that I'm not very good with all the technical side of this so please try keep it as simple as possible for me!
My phone recovery says the following:
AlphaRev CM7 r2
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.10.05.23
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Thanks in advance for your help

lol I mean would it have any affect on the ROM installation process? Obviously I'd lose all my personal data but I have it all backed up anyway
Waiting to see if it'll load atm, still on the same screen, but only been 5 minutes so far. What's the next option if this doesn't work? I was thinking about just trying to go back to stock and start it all form scratch again.
As suspected, it still did the same thing :-(

I'm going to remember this for the future!
After me being impatient (you'll probably be disheartened to hear) I've decided to go the stock way to try get me back to the beginning. After a lot of messing around (reformatting sd-card and placing files on it via a laptop which had the files put on there via USB flash drive!) I think I've managed to get it down to stock again. The bootloader screen thingy says:
BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-4.05.00.11
and when I try select the RECOVERY option it just displays the red triangle (I believe this is because it's not rooted or something (can't currently remember how got it working last time)?)
The problem now though is I would have though I should be able to boot normally now? What happens is when I press the power button it just goes straight into the bootlader screen.
At the triangle, you press vol UP + Power to get to stock recovery. Cant do much there but factory reset though.
did you fastboot flash the downgrader.img from Alpharev before running the RUU?

I've just tried the up + power but when I do it displays the menu options i.e. Apply sdcard:update.zip and wipe data/factory reset; however, it has a yellow message below saying E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command ..... should I be concerned?
Yes I flashed the bravo_downgrade.img located at http://alpharev.nl/ by doing it via the SD card. Currently I can't connect to my phone via adb

That error always comes up on stock recovery I think. It always did for me anyway.
I'd be tempted to factory reset then run an RUU again.

I've just tried the following RUU after doing a factory reset:
RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865
However when going through the instructions it said that my current image is:
2.29.405.5
I proceeded anyway by pressing Update, and it ended up with the following error:
ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR
From what I've quickly googled, it sounds like I got that error because the RUU I was trying to install was less than the one currently installed? If so then how can I get one that is newer as I can't see any newer ones than that!
EDIT: I'll try using the one you suggested again
If it starts with a 1 its android 2.1. You do not want that. It must start with a 2 at least

NONE of them work on my desire.. I checked my hboot...checked my root everthing is fine...i even have a 1GB ext partition on my card that the ROM's want...Majority of the ROM's are stuck on the lockscreen others freeze after some time ..
I really want to know whats wrong! I CANT live with the original froyo bc that gives me only 25mb of free internal memory.

So you flashed the CM7r2 HBOOT and used every rom but CM7? If those roms aren't designed to fit on the CM7 HBOOT you'll end up with half a rom flashed on there.
Did you wipe everything between flashes (including dalvik cache)?
Last thing, try flashing back to the stock HBOOT partition layout and see how that goes. Might've got a corrupted partition file (you should always an MD5 checker on stuff like this).
yes when i flashed the CM7 hboot i flashed the CM7 ROMs for which i wudnt get past the white screen with htc in green
and when i had the stock hboot the ROMs wud get flashed the first boot would go smooth (wud take some time obviously but thats normal right?)
and yes everytime i flashed i wiped everything including dalvik cache.
and i also dont understand what with the MD5 how is that important... because i completely ignored it before.
From your posts looks like you did not read the tutorials carefully.
EXT partition made correct?
What Recovery do you have?
What version did you download from the ROM?
MD5 Checksum is fine?
i had this problem aswell before so all i did was flash the alpha rev downgrader hboot then on the phone click on restart bootloader then just flash the cm7 hboot..
then just wipe everything and flash the rom ..
also some sense roms take up to 15 mins to boot and some of the sense roms resarts the fone three times so just wait for a maximum of 20 minutes
yes ext partition is correct i had a 2GB ext4 previously but then i read on the forums that not all ROMs were compatible with a ext4 so then changed it to a 1GB ext 3
Clockwork Mod Recovery 2.5.0.7
Whats this MD5 Checksum ?? How do i verify it ?
Also whats the alpha rev downgrader ? do you have to downgrade the hboot ?
Because i moved from CM7 to stock just by reflashing it and on my bootloader i saw the change just fine.
I have 10MB free internal memory WT*

Use Amon ra recovery. CMR didn't work for me either.
Is that true could it be CMR ??
And how do i get amon ra ? i got CMR by default like when i rooted using unrevoked.
If CWM 2.5.0.7 doesnt work at all, it may be because you have a PVT 4 erase size 40,000 device.
Not sure why my guide is one of the only guides that mentions this, but there you go.

Some people have trouble with clockworkmod. Normally they solve it by switching to another recovery so it may be the reason to what you are experiencing now.
To get AmonRa recovery, download AmonRa recovery here. Then plug your phone into the computer and use this utility to flash the recovery.

Actually, I think the test 2.0.1 is better (for SD-ext backup), which you can get here for a limited time only:

Hey Guys,
So i flashed AmonRa and then flashed a ROM and it works fine so far.
Thanks alot will get back on how its performance is in the long run.
Thanks a lot
okay no as soon as i rebooted it got stuck on the lockscreen and froze....rebooted again same story....rebooted again same story done that about 5 times now
sorry false alarm its like the problem never went...back to the same old situation...
can someone please help me out..
also is there a way to go back to cmr ??
Try changing to a different kernel. It may be a problem with the kernel. What Rom are you using now?

Well I tried RevolutioN - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300224 which worked for 30 mins before it froze
and then i tried ReflexS - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435
which worked for about 15 mins and then froze.
which kernel should I flash ? thats the only thing left to flash now
And now i have switched back to CMR as i had a CMR backup of the stock ROM.
So im running the stock ROM now.
Try snq 111005 or gingercakes 0.6d. They are the stablest kernels for sense roms for me. Use the search function to find the kernels.

im sorry but i cant find either of those kernels

Can't help you with finding the kernels I'm afraid. But to flash one just do it through recovery like you would a rom. No need to do all the wipes, just wipe your dalvik cache before you flash it.

I am Desperate with this HTC Desire

Hello guys !
First of all i want to say that I've tried EVERYTHING around to resolve the issue, but it seems that nothing is working. So long story short :
My friend bought used HTC Desire since i own DHD and he liked it alot but didnt have the money to buy DHD ,so the day he got it he tried to root it , He said that it was sucessfully and he instaleld some custom rom and went to bed,when he woke up in the morning his Desire Display was flashing with the boot animation(the ROM one) over and over again.He treid to install other ROM and the effect was the same,stuck at animation repeating over and over again.So He called me,i got to his house and tried to solve the issue but i didnt have luck there ,so i got the phone with me at my home. I started digging where the problem was...i was sure it was the rom ,tried to install 5-6 oter roms - no luck . Tried to flash with RUU- no luck ,kept getting " The main version is older" error . So i kept digging and tried to install the RUU throught H-boot by making PB99IMG.zip file,got the same error.Tried to use the update.zip solution - still no luck.Tried to change the recovery from clockwork to any other recovery ,but didnt have luck since i cant access the android and i am getting errors if i try to archive the file to update.zip.
So i need some help if its possible,sorry for my english and if the info that i provided is not that good ask me whatever u like.
also in The H-boot menu it says :
BRAVO PVt4 Ship S-ON
H-Boot-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.14
from what i got by reading is that i cant s-off cuz of the bravo pvt4 ..

When you start out with "I've tried EVERYTHING", make sure you actually did try everything, because it's pretty obvious you didn't.

You have to wipe BEFORE flashing, not after.
Some Roms store important parts on /data, which will be erased during the wipe.

Take it your mate didn't take a nandroid back-up before trying to flash, so he could restore it in case any issues occurred? Have you done full wipe then tried flash ROM from recovery then? Does the ROM need an ext partition - will boot loop if one doesn't exist.
Depending on the HBOOT version, using alpharev or revolutionary will S-OFF PVT4s - but this isn't the solution to your current problem unless you're trying roms that need non-stock hboots, in which case try something that doesn't first. S-OFF via AlphaRev also best done with rooted stock ROM, some custom sense ROMs also seem to work (don't know about revolutionary as i took alpharev route) - but get custom ROM running first before thinking about doing anything else.

Just saw your post. Too bad it's too late. Anyways the situation was kinda funny: So the HTC kept booting untill the "rom logo" (You know the logo after the HTC one), tried to install other ROM's (Full wipe before ofcourse) and it didn't work ofcourse, so I kept digging and i saw some threats where people were saying that clockwordrecovery wasn't working with my version h-boot, ah and trying installing RUU didnt work too(also trying to install PB99IMG.zip from sdcard didnt work too) ,was always getting "The main version is older" error! So we flashed AlphaRev, and finally the phone was S-Offed, after this i got my DHD's sd card since it was a gold card and i put it into the Desire , i had a PB99IMG.zip file from the previous day on it! So i started the bootloader, it detected the PB99IMG.zip file and I didn't get the "Main Verison is older" error, it asked if the file should be updated and i pressed "yes" and the phone gone off...guess what it was compleatly bricked,only vibrating and the screen didn't work....we were like OMG WTF ...so we installed SDK tools and started looking for adb commands/guides ...after 4 hours we were on about to quit and suicide ourselves cuz we didnt get anything and it was getting late...i was like " duh,lets blind try the PB99IMG.zip method again and rest till tomorrow" ,i downloaded the newest PB99IMG.zip from shipped-roms.com ,got it on my sd card and got the sd card back in the desire . Pressed Power + vol down,waited 2 mins and pressed vol up again,waited like 10 more mins,nothing happaned...we got all emo and mad ,2 more friends of us came to my mate's flat ( they are not into phones or anything ,complete noobs),one of them got the phone took of the baterry and the sdcard ,put the baterry back,pressed Power ON button and the phone ****ing started ....we all were like WOOOOOOOOT OMG OMG ,it was like magic xD ...so its fixed now and it has the stock rom and its unrooted...

[Q] cant install new roms on htc desire

hi i rooted my htc desire about one year ago and i installed a MUI Rom and since then i have not added another rom.
now i am trying to install the new roms cool droid and other but im having problems. i install the rom and it says it has been successful but when i reboot the htc it stays stuck at the htc logo forever. how long should it take. i know a new roms takes about 5-10 mins to start up but it shouldn't take upto an 1hr to start.
i would appreciate some help. thanks, adal316

You can partition your SD card from Recovery (depends on what type of recovery you use though)
Are you also sure you are using the right hboot?

im sorry about this but what do you mean using the right Hboot. its been a very long time since i last installed a ROM and ive forgot quite a bit so really would appreciate your help here.
Hello.
Try to tell us more information, which roms are you trying to install? Besides cool droid. Try to be more specific.
You said, you did a full wipe. That means factory reset + wiping data+wiping dalvik. Correct?
About the HBOOT thing. Try to boot into bootloader(volume down + power button), you can see the HBOOT number and version there.
Im no expert on rooting, but in the recent days ive reflashed lots of differerent roms. many roms did not boot, most likely reason was wrong rom for my phone. (i needed room for HTC Desire "Bravo")
i might be wrong, but it seemed to me that the different roms needs different recovery.
with my current setup im able to run cm but not miui. i was able to boot that one with another recovery that did not work with cyanogenmod.
i currently using CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5.
--Revolutionary-
Bravo PVT4 SHIP S-off
Hboot-6.93.1002
Radio-5.11.05.27
recovery:
CWR v5.8.0.2
hope this helps getting you a working rom.
when i go into bootloader this is what shows up
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23
im trying to install sense 4.0 4.1 ROMS. yes when im doing the full wipe im wiping the cache partition and data factory reset then i am installing the new ROM. ROM get successfully installed but when htc desire reboots it stays stuck on the htc logo. please help
That happened to me when using stock hboot, but when i used cm7r2, the rom booted fine. Don't know why.
That's right, try flashing cm7r2 hboot,as abaaaabbbb63 said and I suppose it should be working fine.
Btw. My recommendation is.
Don't bother flashing 4.x.x ROMs for Desire. I don't think any of them are as good (I mean, smooth, without bugs, etc.) as the GB roms. Desire is now an "old" phone, you don't really need 4.x.x, instead of that, try flashing for example MildWild roms, (the one in my signature for example). You can get very nice performance, and a little 4.x.x look, which is probably why you're experimenting with 4.x.x ROMS
hey I had the same problem with my galaxy note then i formatted the SD .Then the problem was solved.
Ok

Like somebody sayed, for parandroid cm7r2 HBOOT is required.
So go to alpharev.nl download cm7r2- flash it trought Android Flasher.
Go to Recovery--full wipe--Flash ROM.

Parandroid?
U mean paranoidandroid? If so that requires stock hboot. The rom they talking bout is cool droid. And if its the CoolDroid Revolution they talking bout then i wouldnt even bother flashing it, its bad, no offence to the dev but its slow, laggy, full of bugs. If its the old CoolDroid by coolexe then that rom is great all round.
Right

Yes man i didnt read well.
You are right, i will recommend you to full/wipe/ Format microSd-->Again Full/wipe--->Clear/Cache+Dalvik and then flash rom.
OFC Flash stock hboot before all this. :laugh:
